Prior to the conference, you will need to prepare materials, which form the basis of your presentation. We will distribute your materials to the delegates who consider them very important. In fact, delegates tell us that they consider these materials to be one of the most valuable aspects of the conference.

Please note that delegates expect to receive a paper from all speakers. The paper is very effective in raising your profile and delegates tell us that the documentation serves as a valuable resource both during the conference and long after it is over. If you are not able to produce a paper, we encourage you to include as much information as possible in your slides.

Paper Guidelines

• Word document
• Use double spacing throughout
• Page numbers centered at the bottom of each page
• Margins to be 1 1/4” on all sides
• Preferred type face is Times Roman 12 point or similar
• Papers generally range from 20 to 40 pages, papers from panellists may be somewhat shorter

In addition, delegates always request copies of any slides used in your presentation, as well as the paper.

Powerpoint Guidelines

• Title should be 40 pt; Bullet points should be minimum of 32 pt
• Suggested maximum of four bullet points
• The number of pages in a PowerPoint presentation generally ranges from 20 to 40, with somewhat fewer for panellists
• Please do not PDF your Powerpoint presentation. We do not modify the content other than to reformat for legibility and colour.
